What moment (or moments) in the Pokémon anime make you sad or even cry? I bet there are a few for everyone lol....

I don't know why, but when Ash left Dawn and Brock, I literally cried for no reason really. I mean I did with Misty and Brock's goodbye too, but everyone hated that. I just had always liked Ash, Dawn, and Brock as traveling companions. Dunno.

But we definitely can't leave out "Bye Bye Butterfree".... I mean, the end, when Ash's Butterfree has to go with his mate or whatevs, and they just had to make Ash cry and they just had to do one of those heart wrenching flashbacks. Like the one when Misty left, but that was ten times worse because it just had to have a song to go along with it.

And don't get me started about Jerichi leaving Max and co. when they sing that lullaby together. I love that movie, but I always want to skip that part. Ugh....

For me, the No.1 tearjerker is the scene in Snow Way Out where Ash's Pokémon disobey his orders in order to keep him warm with their body heat. I loved it in English, but the Japanese version is so much better I can't bring myself to share the English one. (Japanese version here on a sketchy site, scene starts at 15m09s.) Both versions are their respective programs' No.1 tearjerker scenes for me though. There's a reason that Kanto squad remains one of the most beloved teams Ash has ever had, and scenes like this one are part of it.

I don't think I've ever actually cried over anything in the anime, outside of Mewtwo's origin when Ambertwo died. Mainly because seeing a child die in pokemon was quite shocking, even if she was a clone. The show never really touched on adult matters like that ever again.

Yah...I have to agree. PMD2 ("Oh Bidoof..." *cries*) That's where I lose it.

The anime episode "Do I Hear a Ralts" at the end. It's already one of the most well-done episodes of the entire series. And to have the ending it did. I'm speaking of the dub with the song and Ralts' speaking. I don't know if the Japanese has any of that. I don't believe I ever saw that episode in Japanese. I need to DVR that episode if it ever plays again.

See, the closest I came was at the ending to GtI. PMD2 wasn't really that special for me, although I do admit to leaving it for a good three years between getting to the Temporal Tower and beating Dialga.

I've gotta say, the first episode of the anime. When "Tears after the Cloudy Weather" plays, and when Pikachu uses the storm cloud to bring out a massive thunder, it brought a tear to my eye. It didn't happen the first time I watched it though, it was only after I gained an appreciation for the anime that I realized how good it was.
Of course, it was classic when Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Blue Rescue Team finished, and I guess a Nuzlocke brought me to tears when I lost my Gyarados to a Ninja Boy's Koffing who just HAPPPENED to have Thunder...Oof...I lost my Swellow because it was in a double battle and it used Fly and the next turn my opponent sent out a Manectric that used Thunder while I was in the air...I mean it's cool that Thunder hits you while you're flying, but it's also awful when your Swellow all the way from the beginning of the game just dies off :/
